The non-descript, pill-shaped cell is why we understand fundamental life processes (think DNA replication and transcription).

A small team of materials scientists and chemical engineers at Qingdao University, in China, has developed a self-powered, ...

A team of researchers has developed a new self-powered biosensor that can detect Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria in ...

A vivid new image is taking shape in the world of cell biology: Imagine bacteria adhering to the surface of a cell, perhaps ...

University of Toronto researchers have shown how a low carbohydrate diet can worsen the DNA-damaging effects of some gut ...

A self-powered biosensor detects and destroys E. coli using enzyme-driven energy, aptamer-based recognition, and silver ion release for real-time safety.

Chen's team used single-molecule imaging on E. coli bacterial cells to better understand the protein interactions. When they measured the protein concentration inside the cell, they found the ...

Bacteria built it: A 3D rendering captured using a confocal microscope shows the development of serpentine “cables” as non-motile E. coli bacterial cells proliferate in a polymeric solution. (Courtesy ...

Researchers have shown how a low carbohydrate diet can worsen the DNA-damaging effects of some gut microbes to cause colorectal cancer. The study compared the effects of three different diets in ...

When they introduced an F158C mutation in the PheS of pathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae and enterohemorrhagic E. coli, bacterial strains that commonly cause disease in people, the mutants exhibited ...

No one should have to fear food poisoning every time they eat or drink, but the reality, even in the 21st century, is that ...
